Mormon History, Sep 14, 1845

[Hosea Stout Diary] 14th Sunday. Went with my wife to meeting at the StandH. C. Kimball & B. Young preached about the mob burning houses and gave the Saints advice what to do under the present trying circumstances, at inter-mission I met the Eleventh Quorum near the Stand, and then in the afternoon attended meeting.it was a business meeting and all who were not in good fellowship were not allowed to be present and the police in keeping them away had to flog three who were determined to stay.I remained there till time to meet the police saw B. Young who told me to see Genl Rich about business which he had to do, after police meeting I went with Col Scott to see Rich after some consultation with them we concluded that it was best to guard below the City to prevent any person from going in or out to correspond with the mob as some were trying to make a difficulty in the name of the mormonswe then went to see Br E. Everett who was to post the guard. Scott & I. then went to B. You
ngs & saw him and then I
came home about 10 oc.
